JOHN_CADZOW_(AULDCATHIE)_ - Accounts

The directors of the company have elected not to include a copy of the profit and loss account within the financial statements.true

For the financial period ended 31 December 2019 the company was entitled to exemption from audit under section 480 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to dormant companies.

The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for complying with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 with respect to accounting records and the preparation of financial statements.

The member has not required the company to obtain an audit of its financial statements for the period in question in accordance with section 476.

These financial statements have been prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

John Cadzow (Auldcathie) Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in Scotland. The registered office is Adam House, 5 Mid New Cultins, EDINBURGH, EH11 4DU.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

The accounts have not been prepared on a going concern basis. falseFollowing a group reorganisation in the prior period, all of the assets and liabilities of the company were transferred to a fellow group undertaking and the company ceased to trade. The company has made all adjustments necessary to ensure that assets are recorded at an appropriate recoverable amount. Accordingly, the directors are satisfied that no further adjustments are necessary to reflect the fact that the company is not continuing as a going concern.

The company's reporting period has been shortened to 31 December 2019 to align the reporting date with that of its parent undertaking. As a result, comparative amounts (year ended 31 March 2019) presented in its financial statements (including the related notes) are not entirely comparable.

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets, which include certain debtors, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit and loss account.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

The average monthly number of persons employed by the company during the period was 0 (year ended 31 March 2019 - 0).

The company has taken advantage of the exemption available in FRS 102 Section 1A whereby it has not disclosed transactions or balances with the immediate or ultimate parent undertaking or any wholly owned subsidiary undertaking of the group.
